I found 2 new files on my cloud drive. "ideas" and "ideas(1)." I do not remember writing these. I DO remember dinner with some rye whiskey.

Ideas: Babies born limb by limb, torso, and then the head. Mom needs to assemble IKEA style.

Ideas(1): The friction of life

Hey, they can't all be home runs.

Several home printed quarter sheet prototypes of a thin zine containing samples of K. Ungeheuer's story collection "The Cockroach of the Dada Movement"

Look! 'zines! It's the 90s all over again! Ungeheuer samples are coming your local indie bookstore, comic shop, record store, etc*

Happy Birthday to Dadaist author, K. Ungeheuer who would have been 118 years old today! If you like short, weird horror which one reviewer described as "Kafka's Meditations meets Poe in the throes of opium," check out Ungeheuer's collected works. cockroach.org

a meme split in two parts. The top part reads "What Paul Atreides looks like in the movie:". Next to this is a photo of Timothée Chalamet. The bottom part reads "What Paul Atreides looks like in the book:". Next to this are simply the words "Paul Atreides"

I mean they're not wrong...

Her memorial to Stanley is very sweet (and I still listen to the Clockwork Orange ST)

Bookbinding Tutorial {Brought to You by Jessica of Greenleaf & Blueberry} This detailed bookbinding tutorial will teach you everything you need to know about creating and enjoying your own handmade books!

Just guessing here, but was it the DAS Bookbinding series on YT? 😂

I love the idea of binding your own stories, zines, novel(las, ettes), etc. Giving words a very special treatment.

Here's a good (and basic) tutorial with lots of pictures and no narration: thepostmansknock.com/bookbinding-...

Snowsky Echo Mini Lossless audio player. It's styled like an old school 1980's walkman with animation showing a cassette in the middle. Also included are a pair of Bluetooth headphones also styled to look like 80's Sony headphones with the orange foam ear covers.

Snowsky Echo Mini Lossless audio player held up to show the size. Approximately 2" x 3" x 0.5"

My new lossless music player reminding me of high school. Dual HiFi DAC processors. Works with Bluetooth (like my retro Sony earphones), 3.5 and 4.4 mm wired jacks. It supports up to 256GB via microSD and can act as a sound amplifier for any computer or phone.

All for under $100

A start on a new story

"A gust of wind cleared some of the clouds. It took a moment until Coraline could process the sight. Odd faint patterns of ridges and swirls on the underside of pink flesh. It wasn’t until she saw the hard rough edge of the nail that she realized it was a finger tip."

How the Nazis Were Inspired by Jim Crow The Third Reich studied the United States.

We keep on calling ICE the Gestapo and trump Hitler, and they are, but never forget who taught those fascists how to demonize an entire population

Writing has become my space to refill my cup when the world around us takes so much emotional (and physical) energy.

If you long to write but find yourself doom scrolling and feeling helpless, this article from @timwaggoner.bsky.social is for you.

Every time I see it, you know we have to talk about it…

And it's never too late. I'm 56, and only picked writing back up four years ago after abandoning it in my 20s.

I published my first book of flash fiction a year later and just finished an 8600 word short story. After decades of regret and frustration, the joy it brings me is incomparable.

Review: The Occultists — Kelly Book Stuff 4 stars. This is by far one of the most interesting horror novels I've ever read. It took me ages, but I think the amount of time I spent in this story only added to my investment and curiosity about ...

Fun review of my first book, THE OCCULTISTS on Kelly Book Stuff. (Is it weird that I read her blog as “Kelly Butt Stuff”?) But seriously, it’s a great review. Thank you, Kelly.

Stop scrolling & post two characters who bring you happiness.

We're a shithole country with a racist, fascist government actively infecting our democratic infrastructure with incompetence and hate.

Even a toddler can tear shit down. It will take generations to reverse the damage done

A terrific interview by @davidforbes.bsky.social with an ex-NYT editor outlining the history and consequences of the paper’s anti-trans agenda, which the right used to bolster their biased policies. It was never just trans folk kvetching—it’s real. #ditchthenyt

A photo of a hippo with the caption: "I am not a toy. I am not a Christmas present. I am a 3,000-pound, semiaquatic liability. Please think hard before gifting a hippopotamus this Christmas."

Please. It's a life, not a gift!

A late year glamping vacation I booked when it was 80F and it was 34F when we arrived. As short and cold as it was it was, it was a blast

Also, wtf doesn't like Mathew Lillard??
